I have been training for a sprint triathlon for a few months. I almost didn't do it cause it sold out. Then they opened 100 more spots. I hurried and signed up. A sprint is 1/2 mile swim, 13 mile bike (little did I know uphill) and 5k run. In the end I finished the swim in 18:50 the bike in 1:11 and the run in 29:48. It was the hardest thing I have ever done! I tried my best and have no regrets. It was worth it when it was all done. During the race I thought I was crazy for signing up. Jarom still thinks I am. I finished 16th out of 26 women. Now I am pretty sure I will do another one in May called Iron Girl.
Here I was so embarrassed cause I didn't know Jarom and his family were watching me struggle to put on the wet suit. I didn't know they would be at the triathlon so early.

That is so neat that you did that. I can't believe that you are going to do that again. Your times are amazing. Way to go! We are proud of you.
those tight suckers are a beast to put on.
way to go, and good luck training for the iron girl.
Bonnie, you did awesome. Your times are impressive.
I am so proud of you. That is awesome. I can barely make it to my basement to work out for 30 min. I think it is great that you did that.
Didn't that totally Rock? Not many people can say they did a triathlon. Do you think you'll ever do it again. I probably will, but only if I can get a lot of freinds to do it with me agian. I found your blog and I hope you don't mind me taking a peek.
